PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION

The process of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are complemented. Both reactions occur inside the plants but only the Photosinthesis occurs in the plants and the other one in every living cell. Some important comparations are:

PHOTOSINTHESIS                                                                                                                     

• absorbs H2O and CO2.
• releases O2.
• makes sugar and other compounds.
• stocks up energy and nutrients.
• it accurs only in cells with chlorophyll.
• uses simple chemical compounds to produce complex compounds.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION: 

• absorbs O2.
• releases H2O and CO2.
• splits sugar and other compounds. 
• releases energy from nutrients.
• it occurs in every living cells.

So, the definitions of Photosynthesis is: process in which plants use to trap the sun's energy and build carbohydrates (glucose) that store energy. 

And the definition of Cellular Respiration is: phisiological process that converts biochemical energy from nutrients to adenosine triphosphate and then releases water products. This process exchanges gases with the environment. 

REACTIONS: 

The Photosynthesis uses solar energy and produces O2 and the Cellular Respiration absorbs O2 and converts the energy in glucose into ATP (is the main power source) for use by the cells.
